Abstract
1,112,260. Self-propelled missiles. ATLANTIC RESEARCH CORPORATION. 4 Aug., 1966 [25 Aug., 1965], No. 34959/66. Heading F3A. The rocket (10), Fig. 1 (not shown), after the ejection of a payload particularly meteorological equipment with a parachute housed in section (44), is fragmented into small pieces. Burning of the propellant grain 28 ignites a gas generator 70 which expands the end of a capsule 72 to move a rod 74. This releases a timer 62 which through a cam (98). Fig. 3 (not shown), and detent (108) releases a striker (102). A primer (110) ignites a gas generator (not shown) to eject the equipment. Later a second cam (116) similarly through an igniter (122) starts booster charges 82 which ignite a primary charge 48. This charge fragments heavier parts such as a head 30. A secondary charge 50 extending the full length of the casing in the form of a layer underneath a tail fin assembly 16, is ignited sympathetically and fragments the remaining parts. Fragmentation may alternatively be initiated by radio link (162), Fig. 3 operating rod 74 through a solenoid (164). In the event of failure of the actuating means, fragmentation is initiated automatically on descent of the spent rocket, through an atmospheric pressure operated device (128), Fig. 4 (not shown). The secondary charge 50 is protected by an aluminized coating 160.
